Castle Comity, Del., with London pnrple (10 ounces to 200 pjallons of 

 water). Taking the single unsprayed tree examined as a standard, the 

 total yield from the sprayed trees was nearly four times as large as 

 that from the unsprayed trees, and the average yield of sound apples 

 nine times as large. Mnety per cent of the sound apples gathered 

 from the sprayed trees were saved from the attacks of the moth by the 

 use of the insecticide. The sound apples from the sprayed trees were 

 much superior in quality to those from the one unsprayed tree examined.
